Xerxos@lemmy.ml 1 day agoThe average IQ is 100. That is not a lot and half of the population is below that. I’m more surprised how bad our education system is in filtering out the dumb people. Someone who is ‘not smart’ but has good memory and is diligent can make it frighteningly far in our society. Not to mention nepo babies who are a different kind of problem

The average IQ is 100 because it is designed to always have the average at 100%. If magically everyone became exactly 20% better at IQ tests tomorrow, the average IQ would be adjusted and still be 100.
Smart argument.
